Darkness descending on us all.

Just bought the Dinotte 200L for the front and it's a great bit of kit. I'm thinking of getting the 140L for the rear - is it as good a the pictures make out on the Dinotte site, and do you recommend it? I cycle very dark unlit lanes and I'm looking for something that's ridiculously bright. Also, where did you buy it from, I ended up getting the 200L from the states since it was out of stock just about everywhere I looked over here.

Ta,
AM.

You have a PM AB.
I got the Dinoette because I could use it both on lit and unlit roads.
It is also very versatile in having 3 full beam settings and 3 flash settings.
A veritable mobile disco!

I shall be offroading tnight - my 35W lumicycle is charged up and ready to go. It pushes out serious power - 800 lumens or so - but the batteries don't last very long at all.

Still looking into getting a new front light. the EL530

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cateye-EL530-Front-Light/dp/B000OYFS68

looks like a good buy from what has been posted before. but it says on amazon reviews that the beam is really narrow. how will it do for general commute on roads (is it too narrow will be blind drivers) and the towpath which needs a good spread of light. thanks

I had two EL530s for a while. The beam is really narrow, and with two of them there wasn't really enough light for unlit roads. Well there was, but only if you go slow, say 10mph ish.

 

[Jake]

ah right, no good then. need something with a good spread. the catseye 3led one is good, but not birght enoug fortowpath at night.
